Last time on Dragon Ball Z, Trunks' and Tina's date seemed to go over smoothly but while they were having fun Goten was fighting Android 2, when the android unleashes his final attack it seems like everything in it's path is doomed. So what happened to Goten, and what will happen to Piccolo when he takes on an android stronger then 2? Find out today on Dragon Ball Z.

SSJ Raditz

Tina drove as fast as she could towards South City. She had said goodbye to Trunks less then an hour ago when he called her saying something terrible had happened and he needed help finding Goten. She was both scared and deeply worried about her new friend. She skidded to a stop when she arrived at the edge of town. She jumped off and tore off her helmet looking at what used to be a great city. Buildings were destroyed; people were crying and lying dead in the street. She started walking towards the center of town, saddened by all the pain she saw. She stopped when she saw Trunks a few feet ahead of her. It was like she was looking at an entirely different person. His head was down and he looked the same except he was shirtless. His body looked worn and torn from moving large rocks, trying to find his best friend. Tears ran from his eyes as he threw his head back and roared. It had started raining and the droplets of rain seemed to not even hit Trunks, he was powering up. A golden glow surrounded him as his purple hair started raising up and turned golden. She had seen this before, he had gone Super Sayjin, and he turned and looked at her, his eyes full of sadness and pain. "Help me look, please.", he said as he continued to move rocks around. Tina nodded and started searching the debris.

Meanwhile on the other side of the planet Piccolo was frozen in shock as he saw a warrior, alive, that he killed over 20 years ago. "How?" Piccolo finally managed to get out. "Piccolo, you did defeat me but you did not kill me. A talented inventor found me and he healed me. I'm now known as Android 4 and I am here to participate in the tournament. A tournament that you will not be participating in" "Oh and why not?" asked Piccolo smirking. "Because Piccolo, I'm going to return the favor and kill you" With that Raditz disappeared and reappeared directly above Piccolo. "EXCITING YEAR!" Raditz started battering Piccolo with a shower of kicks and punches that send Piccolo crashing into the ground. Piccolo stood up and wiped his blood from his face. Piccolo quickly recovered and started attacking back, neither one of them bothered blocking as they continued hitting each other.

Above them someone flew across the sky towards the ruins of South City. "Damn that android 2", Mystic thought, "What he did to South City is inexcusable, now I have to go clean up after him." He then turned Super Sayjin 2 and raced off towards the ruins. Trunks had already turned half the city upside down looking. Tina was walking towards the center of town and saw what used to be the fountain she played at when she was little. She took a step towards it but stepped on something. She leaned down and looked at it, it was somebody's hand. She quickly pushed over a large rock and started crying. There he was, Goten, covered in rocks and other debris, in his arms was the remains of a child. She quickly fell to her knees and checked for a pulse. She found one, a weak one. She then called for Trunks, who rushed over and helped her remove everything from off of him. It looked like his legs were crushed, a long with a few ribs. "We have to help him", whispered Tina. "If we move him, he may die", responded Trunks. Tina fell back crying, her eyes were forced shut. When she opened her eyes, she saw him. "Tr-tr-trunks!" Trunks turned around and froze.

Piccolo and Raditz's fists and knees hit each other. Piccolo was breathing heavily. "Piccolo I haven't started yet and you're already tired?" Raditz then grabbed Piccolo's wrists and started slamming his head into Piccolo's head over and over again. "I AM an android, I don't tire out and I'm just starting to fight" He let go of one of Piccolo's wrists and spun him in the air then let go, throwing him into a nearby mountain, which collapsed around him. He flew out of the rubble and wiped some blood off the corner of his mouth. "You are stronger, but not stronger then I!" with that Piccolo powered up causing the area to shake violently, when he stopped he was bigger and his power level was through the roof. "That's nothing", said Raditz with a smirk. Raditz started powering up. Piccolo, sure of himself before, started losing his confidence. The entire planet seemed to be shaking as Raditz continued powering up. Piccolo fell a few feet back as he saw a golden glow surround Raditz, his long black hair flashed gold for a second, his eyes changed color. "No", yelled Piccolo, "NO, it's impossible! NOOOO!!!"

Tina stood there silent; the rain, which had died down, matted her hair down. Trunks stood there with anger in his eyes. Mystic stood there glowing in his SSJ2 radiance. He seemed to be looking at Tina, when his eyes turned to Trunks they had no emotion to them, then he said to Tina, "I'm sorry, he wasn't supposed to do this. All off this, it shouldn't have happened." "Shut up", yelled Trunks, "Because of your stupid androids my best friend and all the people of this city lost their lives" "Goten is not dead", said Mystic as he walked over and picked him up in his arms, "I will take care of him" He started flying off, "I'm taking him to be healed, he should be better in a day or two. Goodbye for now Goddess", he said to Tina as he flew off. Tina could see the anger rushing through, he was crying hard, she wanted to comfort him but she just couldn't. Tears slowly formed as she watched Mystic fly off. "Goddess?" thought Trunks.

Piccolo couldn't believe what was happening, Raditz had surpassed him in power by a thousand in mere seconds, Raditz had turned SSJ3. "I will fight you do the death!" roared Piccolo as he started punching and kicking Raditz. He punched him then did a roundhouse kick. He then touched his forehead with two fingers, "Special Beam Cannon!" he yelled as he fired an energy blast at Raditz. This time he wasn't afraid. Raditz held up his arms and caught the blast holding it in his grasp. He then looked up at the trembling Piccolo. "Now you know how I felt when you did this to me, over 20 years ago. Special Beam Cannon!" Raditz fired the blast right back at Piccolo. Piccolo dodged it at the last minute as the blast took off one of his antennas. Raditz flew and grabbed Piccolo by the leg, he spun him around in circles above his head and flew down, throwing him into the rocky ground. Then he flew above and powered up an attack. "Goodbye Piccolo" Raditz fired a blast that went into the ground where Piccolo lay and blew up everything around it. Raditz flew there laughing his head off. Then he flew off. Piccolo lay there, dying. He was bleeding all over as cuts and bruises covered his body, he coughed and blood came up. He looked to the side and saw a flower blowing gently in the wind. "This is what he saw", thought Piccolo, "This is how he felt when I killed him…when I hurt him all those years ago. I can't believe he was the one to do it, to kill me. I can't believe how strong he's become. I wish I could warn the others, I wish I could warn Goku…." With that he lay his head down and closed his eyes for the last time….To be continued…
